What and where is EABU?

EABU is our cool little spot in Eastern Burlingame, or as some of my friends like to call it, Barely Burlingame. Burlingame is one of those towns where there is no "wrong side of the tracks"; where fixers/updaters on the east side are selling in the mid-$800's on up, the streets are clean, neighbors are friendly, homes are well kept, and there is charm galore!

EABU is adjacent to a small sliver of San Mateo, which starts North of Peninsula Avenue, sitting between Highway 101 & Humboldt.

Our San Mateo neighbors include the famous Nini's Coffee Shop at 1000 N. Idaho, Anna's of San Francisco at 1001 Howard St. (it's so nice to have a bit of S.F. history on the Penin), Hot Wok Bistro at 1012A Howard St. (a new Chinese restaurant which is quite good!), and a mix of commercial/industrial businesses on the frontage road.

Travel a bit further to the East and we have the fantastic Coyote Point recreation area, which has a bit of everything including a museum, a marina, and world class windsurfing and kite surfing. My 2008 goal is to transition out of windsurfing and into kite surfing.

Travel North East & there is the much needed and necessary Burlingame Dog Park where I set loose our 10 month old, Border Collie/Whippet mix who is wired and built for speed. Our alternative parks include Washington Park at 850 Burlingame Avenue and Victoria Park at 30 Howard Avenue.

So, this is EABU. Our cool little corner, with good freeway access (S.F. is a quick 15-20 minutes without traffic), great outdoor recreation opportunities and good eats. We decided we'd take the lead as so many cities have and give our 'hood it's own abbreviated name. We have it pretty good in EABU.

Thanks for visiting and make it a great day!!
